SLAIDBURN’S new £81,000 health centre should be in use by the end of next month, well over a year since work started. The c en tr e will be


handed over tomorrow by the contractors to the area health authority, five months later than planned. The delay has mainly


been caused by last win­ ter’s bad weather, and also because of a disruption in supplies of materials and early difficulties with the building’s foundations. The centre, built on the


site of two cottages at Town End which used to serve as a surgery, is fronted with their original


stone. When fully equipped to ■.effiueK

serve more than 1,000 patients in the area, it will comprise a waiting room, treatment bay, consulting room, a dispensing office and facilities for district nurses and health visitors. The centre represents


triumph at the end of 15 years of campaigning by the village’s practitioner Dr Terence McCree. While serving the rural


90 square miles round Slaidburn, Dr McCree has suggested a number of ways to improve medical


facilities. He b e l i e v e s th a t


surgeries were held in the two old cottages as early as the 17th century, though more recently he has pro­ vided a medical service from the relative comfort of two rooms at his former house in Slaidburn “The Brooklets.” "Facilities have been


rather primitive in the vil­ lage and the centre should at least be a bit warmer,”


he said. Invitation


FIFA r e fe r e e David Richardson, of Great Har­ wood, will be the speaker at Clitheroe Referees’ Soc­ iety meeting at the Vic­ toria Hotel on Tuesday, at 8 p.m. Members of the public are invited to attend.

THE Ribble Valley Council of Churches’ annual ecumenical service proved an outstanding success. Held at Christ


Church, Chatburn, it attracted such a large congregation, representative of all denominations, that supplies of prayer books and leaflets were exhausted. Pictured are some of those who took part. The Vicar of Christ


Church, the Rev. Cecil R. Butlin, conducted the service. The Rev. W. Stewart, of the North West Province, United Reformed Church, was the preacher, and the Rev. Ward Jones, Methodist minister at Chatburn, led the prayers. The offertory was


for the Tear Fund, which helps with the relief of refugees and


A the effects of famine in / many parts of the


V world.
